Yeah, being more of an EFI guy, my father who's 72 and been a GM mechanic most of his life is going to come school me on the ways of old. XD First thing is adjusting the clutch cable, and re-jetting the carb, I can tackle fixing a lot of this wiring, clean up, replacing damaged parts etc. just fine. Once I'm happy with it mechanically, and electrically then I'll start working on the body. I work in a sheet metal fabrication shop (not body) but we have a big blasting room so I can bead blast large panels, bumpers etc. easy to get any rust off. I guess lightly sand and scotch-brite from there. I need to learn a little more about body work, luckily a guy that works there used to work in a body shop. I have a compressor, with a big tank, not much of a compressor on it...it's sloooooow. It's also old as hell, like 1940's? old. But whatever got a regulator and a paint gun so she will get some love. I'll start a new thread once repairs start.
